2013 Dodge Durango: fuel pump failure

Filed Oct 27, 2025 · Electrical · PA

The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Durango. The contact was informed that the vehicle was serviced under the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 19V813000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), but the failure persisted. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal, and the RPM fell to zero. In addition, the engine stalled. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle still functioned; however, the engine failed to operate as designed. The contact stated that the failure persisted. Occasionally, the contact was able to coast to the side of the roadway, and at other times the vehicle remained in the roadway. After several attempts, the vehicle restarted. The contact was able to continue driving; however, the failure occurred a short distance later. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the fuel pump relay inside the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM-7) had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was unknown.

My vehicle randomly stalled in the middle of the road (I was unaware of the recall, I was not notified of recall upon purchase of vehicle) when I was towed to shop they confirmed the issue was the fuel pump relay (I believe that is what it’s called that the recall is for) I was charged $700 for 2.5 mile tow and repair. After leaving the shop my vehicle began having other problems shortly after (within a month) my vehicle stopped accelerating like a normal vehicle would, it was harder to accelerate it seemed and then the noise.. it is like a knock or a grind? I was told I needed to replace my engine mount so I did… another $850 later and the noise is worse and it still doesn’t accelerate like it should and they are saying my transfer case needs replacing and that it will cost me 2k just for the parts. My car was in perfect condition before the relay failed.. no issues. So is it another recall or is it damage due to a recall I was never notified of?

The recall that was done on 1/4/21 for a fuel pump relay on this vehicle has not been properly working since it was installed. Have had problems with a no start would just crank and it might start on the 3 or 4 try took to the dealers and even towed there once. Kept telling them that this problem started after this recall of the fuel pump relay. Gas mileage also went down. When taken in and even towed to dealership there was no codes for anything except battery was dead from the cranking trying to start the motor. after they got the battery charged it didn't do it for them so no codes for them to see. It would do it sometimes and then wouldn't do it. If you was out and about you might get stranded. Called Detroit the Dodge makers and was told that they wasn't going to do anything about it since it was out of warranty you only have a 2 years warranty on a recall part. But when they keep saying it's all done right. What does a consumer have to do to get it fixed properly!

My 2012 Dodge Durango was serviced under the federal safety agency Campaign 19-V813. This called for the replacement of the fuel pump relay to correct a potential no-start or stall situation. This also prevented fuel pump failure due to the unit not being switched off by the TIPM when the car is turned off. This repair has not corrected the problem. The car would be available for inspection upon request. The safety of the occupants could be at risk. The problem is intermittent and has not been able to be duplicated at the dealer. There are no warning lamps or codes that can be read. The car will crank over for an extended period of time but will not start. This is an intermittent problem and occurs two times a month or more, has been happening since Fall of 2020, and has been increasing in frequency. The fuel pump relay was replaced in June 2021 and the car had a no-start two weeks later. The check engine light does not come on. No codes are found by the dealer. The engine has not quit while in motion, but possibly could as this problem increases in frequency. On two occasions while the car was in motion the right rear window went down for no reason. The window could not be raised until the car was brought to a stop, turned off and started again. The window could then be raised using the driver's door control. This poses a danger to the occupants of the vehicle especially during severe weather and is at least a distraction to the driver. The common denominator in these two problems is the TIPM. I think the fuel pump relay problem is actually a problem found deeper within the TIPM. Chrysler is simply saying that the "flix" is a relay and not the real culprit, the much more expensive TIPM. The dealer says they cannot diagnose this problem unless it is happening on their lot. They have inspected the fuel pump relay work that was done under recall and said that the installation was correct.

1.The air bag light come on & off randomly. The air bag has never been deployed. 2. The transmission misfires, I don't know if it has to do with the fuel pump relay. I've replaced almost the entire transmission and still does the same thing.

My vehicle has been recalled, I believe, twice for the Fuel Pump Relay (Campaigns R09 or P54) . On June 21, 2021 I scheduled an appointment with my local World Chrysler Dodge Jeep store to have the recall performed. For approxmimately 1 month, other than sluggishness, the car functioned normally. In the July, the car began stalling for no reason again. The recall performed on the vehicle HAS NOT corrected the issue with the Fuel Pump Relay. I had once incident in June 2021 where the car stalled in the middle of an intersection and I was in serious danger of being hit by other vehicles travelling toward my car. I was fortunate that there were a few people who pushed my car off to the side of the road. This past week alone, my car has had three incidences when I start the car, the engine turns over, and then immediately stalls. You cannot immediately restart because the engine will just crank, but not turn over. You must wait a few minutes before you can restart the vehicle. There are the same issues I was experiencing before the new relay pumb was replaced. In my opinion, in addition to the stalling, the new relay has made my car run very sluggish. It is not very responsive when pressing my foot on the gas pedal, it bogs down first, and then it begins to respond. It has been dangerous when I am trying to enter a busy roadway and need the vehicle to go quickly so I can merge in to traffic. It just bogs down. This is not just a one time incident, the car has stalled at least 5 times since the replacement in June 2021. Today alone, August 28, 2021 it started/stalled twice. No inspection of the component has been done. I tried to get a second new replacement but was told that too many people were on the waiting list, and there weren't enough new parts to redo the work already done on my vehicle. No warning lights of any kind come on and there are no other symptoms of the proble before it occurs. No one has been able to reproduce the problem.

I have been trying to get a recall done on my car for months and I can't, fuel pump relay. Every time I call the dealership they say call back next week and nothing. I have called every dealership around and they say they get one part a week. I don't know who to go to. Am I supposed wait until I am broken down?

My durango stalls when I'm driving and restarts on its own. I had the fuel pump relay changed already which I had to pay out of pocket because dodge doesn't have the replacement part. My vehicle continues to stall with out notice and am scared to drive it. I took it back to the dealership and they kept my car for a week. The car never stalled when the drove it around a few times. This car is very dangerous due to the fact that it stops at any moment and you lose complete power. At anytime you could crash without notice.

There has been a fuel pump relay recall since 2019. I have tried several times and as late as today 3/23/2021 I get the same excuse. I am told it's on a national back order and they don't know when they will get to me or I've been placed on a waiting list. I don't understand how this is so because a malfunction of this part can result in death. Again this has been out since 2019.
